Chapter 16 also triangle

After retreating from the front line, Ma Desheng and Sun Zhanyuan made a fortune of more than 500 yuan.Two quick guns, a few pairs of bracelets, a few watches... all sold, and the money was made.They rented a room in the Guandi Temple in the city, and the two of them enjoyed the life they always felt itchy in their hands.One of them made a suit of foreign satin clothes and a big sky-blue jacket, and wandered around the city at will, his face was washed to shine, and he left his crew cut.In less than two months, almost half of the money has gone out.I would never go back to the country; I have no experience in business, and my capital seems to be too little.Going to the army after running out of money seems to be the only way, and it's not entirely bad.Both of them saw this step.But, on second thought, life might be different, if you don't wait until all the money is spent, but give yourself a big change.In the past, my body was attached to the bayonet of the military uniform. When I was free, I would fall on the playground, and when I was busy, I would walk towards the bullets.Life seems to have been involuntarily controlled by himself, always following the password.What is a big change?Living in peace for a few days is more stable than living in the Guandi Temple at night and walking the streets during the day.Have a decent home!With a home, maybe life will naturally change.Never being in the army again for this reason is not known, although being in the army is not entirely a bad thing.Both of them also thought of this step, they couldn't help but think of this step, if a person is not successful, it is always a big flaw in his life.The matter of starting a family has to be done quickly, because the money seems to be released faster than the army.You can't be unhappy with the money, the brothers are warm-hearted, and when you see a friend or meet a beggar and beg for a few words, the money can't help but be sold.Marriage must be done at once, not when there are only coppers left in the pocket.Both of them thought of this step, but they couldn't discuss it with each other.In terms of friendship, the two are allied brothers. They fought together, went to the wounded soldiers hospital together, ate and slept together, and robbed each other. Now they live together in Guandi Temple.Clothes and socks can be separated; it's just that there is no way to discuss this matter.The more indiscriminate the clothes, eating and drinking, the more loyal they are.But two people cannot marry a wife, no matter what.Money, that's all; it's impossible for one person to marry one house.You can't have a happy event with all the foreign money with your pockets upside down.Just entering the bridal chamber and staring blankly, playing with empty fists, doesn't sound like a sentence.Then, one had to marry a wife and the other remained a bachelor.Who is it to call a bachelor, but?In terms of age, they are all in their thirties; no one is a child.In terms of friendship, you can live a life; who wants to become a family by himself and make friends roll their eyes blankly?Divide the money equally and do things separately; no one can say that.Friends who have been friends for more than ten years, once they suddenly break up, they can't even think about it.There is simply no way.The more helpless I am, the more often I think: I am in my thirties; my money is almost running out; it is time to do something else. Being a soldier is not a bad thing, but sooner or later there will be one or two bullets.Why can't the brothers choose a "person" when visiting a brothel, let alone marry a wife?Both of them drank four taels for nothing, and said everything they wanted to say, but "this" couldn't be said.

Ma Desheng—a newly printed business card with the name Guofan, given by a fortune teller—is a brother, with a head like a papaya, and a not very thick face, but uneven and uneven.Sun Zhanyuan is the younger brother, with a fat head and big ears, he is a standard handsome man in a pork shop.Brother Ma raised his eyebrows when he wanted to show kindness, and sometimes he cried and cursed at the street when he thought of his dead mother.Brother Sun is always very kind, and even raises his hand when he asks for directions in plain clothes.Brother Ma's eyebrows have been raised for three days because of "that matter", and brother Sun has become more and more friendly, and no one is willing to speak first.

Ma Desheng was lying on the bed, holding his papaya in his hand, unable to figure out what "Guofan" really meant.Actually, I didn't want to think about it.Sun Zhanyuan read with a kerosene lamp, and when he encountered the word next to the character for female, a red sedan chair came before his eyes, and when the sedan chair passed by, he also forgot which line he was reading.I stopped reading out of anger, picked up the small round mirror with the photo of the golden magnolia on the back, and took a closer look at my teeth.The teeth are very straight, very white, and very boring. Turning over to look at Jin Yulan, it's boring, a fat lady.I don't know how to think of it: "Brother, Xiao Yangfeng's "Yutangchun" is so boring!"

"Wild bitches are fucking boring!" The elder brother raised his eyebrows, expressing sympathy for the younger brother. Brother Meng turned to the mirror to look at his teeth again, this time focusing on the two upper front teeth, which were too big and white to be pleasing to the eye. The two of them stopped talking, and they were all thinking about the boringness of wild girls, and they all thought of a kind of woman who was completely different from wild girls—the one who made tea and water, washed clothes and cooked food, always followed her, had children and raised daughters, and died. Buried in one piece.From this, I thought of something I was embarrassed to think about. The wild girls are boring, but they still have a decent wife.Brother Ma's papaya is a little itchy, and Brother Sun can't sit still.Thinking further, even if it is a partnership to marry one.No, you can't think like that.But they all thought so, and thought of some scenes that were even more embarrassing to think about.It's embarrassing, but it's also fun.While interesting, what exactly is embarrassing.Brother Ma yawned reluctantly, and Brother Sun accompanied a more reluctant one.The pig head meat seller who lived in Guandi Temple came back.Sun Zhanyuan went out and bought a pig's tongue pressed into a basket.Two brothers, each had half a pig's tongue and a rice bowl of boiling water, but they were still bored.

The two of them are rich men in the temple.This is not to say that the temple is full of poor people.According to the owner of the pig's head meat workshop, there are seven or eight hundred greasy and thick foreign coins buried in the kang.But the boss's money is always buried in the kang.Mr. Zhang from Houdian said that he once served as a county magistrate and had more than one hundred thousand in his hands.But the governor smoked all the money, and the concubine ran away with others.No one can compare to these two brothers, who are willing to spend money and don't smoke opium.The Pig Head Meat Workshop can get their money, and they will never refute the price, give as much as they should, and don't want to discount because they live in front of Master Guan.There is no one in the temple who does not love them.

The one who loves them the most is Mr. Li Yonghe.Mr. Li probably looked like a traitor since he was a child, or else, anyone who saw him would immediately think of the word "traitor".Tall and slender, with a pointed head and a neck like a green onion, he always wears a long, skinny shirt.I wore satin shoes on my feet, and there was no sound in the aisle.He always wears long clothes and is slender.It is said that he also had tight hands sometimes, just like everyone else in the temple.But no matter how hard it is, he always wears long clothes; when he has no choice, he can pawn or sell the clothes that are close to him, but he always keeps the outer one.So his long clothes are very thin, probably because when he wears a hollow coat, it is not obvious that there is nothing inside, and it can actually save some warmth.This approach has a lot to do with his profession.He must wear a robe and satin shoes.Talking about the matchmaker, and introducing the pawn house to sell the land is the bottom line. If he doesn't wear a robe, he won't be able to win the trust of others.His own belief is a "commission" divided into three and four, and the robe is his signature and watermark.

Ever since the two rich men moved into the temple, Li Yonghe saw them through.He sees no difference in people looking at houses, land, and goods. No matter whether people have a nose or not, he looks at how much you are worth, and then calculates the percentage of "commission".His friendship with people lasted until the day he got the commission—he knew they wouldn't use him anymore.He didn't answer much about the residents in the temple, because almost all of them had used him before and didn't dare to learn more.It's just that Governor Zhang takes care of him more often, and people who smoke are stunned and don't want to get up.But recently, even Governor Zhang didn't greet him very much, because he was too impolite.Once he took out Governor Zhang's purple lambskin robe and brought back only a few smoking cessation pills. "The best thing is to cut off the cigarette," he said to Governor Zhang, "so that I don't have to embarrass people with sheepskin jackets all over the street; no one wears sheepskin now, and no one bothers to wear fox legs!" Of course, Governor Zhang would not In a fit of anger, I went to the street to have a look, so I almost died of addiction lying on the bed.

Li Yonghe had eaten several meals with the two brothers.After the first meal, he had checked the pulse of both of them.Pretending to design a business for them, the amount of money from the two of them has been registered in his mind.He continued to eat them for nothing, and with a few cups of wine, he could see and write out all the thoughts of the two of them so clearly.He knew that they were Firefly's buttocks, they were not very bright, and besides being a soldier was no better than Governor Zhang, they would fight when they were in a hurry.So he didn't tighten their grip on them, fortunately, it wouldn't be bad to eat a few free meals first.When they come to the door, strangle them again, even though they are a pair of fireflies, they are bright after all; more or less, even if you only wear new satin shoes, you can’t offend the God of Wealth—he comes every time he arrives. During the New Year, you must go to the Temple of Fortune to borrow the number one paper ingot.

The two brothers were embarrassed to discuss the matter with each other, so they both secretly discussed it with Mr. Li.Mr. Li made them feel that there are still many things in the world that they don't know. "You brothers are experts in the matter of going to battle and standing at attention to prepare for release. It's not nonsense to be born in the army!" Mr. Li said, and then lowered his voice: "As for the matter of getting a wife and starting a family, my surname is Li. To put it bluntly, you probably have little experience of the profundity here.” As a result, Ma and Sun feel that they must experience it.This must be a very interesting, very important, very "fucking" thing.It must be completely different from standing at attention and walking.If a person has not tasted this taste, even if he has won a hundred battles, he is nothing!

How much will it cost, then? Speaking of this, Mr. Li became a saint naturally.One sentence stopped them and asked them: "What kind of person do you want?" They answered silently, and Mr. Li just took out the "Three Kingdoms" in his heart.It turns out that there are different levels of women, so the prices are naturally different.For example, Mr. Li told the head of the delegation that the Xiguo for regular use was 1,200 packs, and each pack cost thirty-five cents.Thirty-five cents; three yuan for ten packages; thirty-five yuan for one hundred packages; three hundred and fifty yuan for one thousand packages; a total of four hundred and twenty yuan, especially Xiguo!In addition, there are four diamond rings of "Little Perfume" and "Diamond Diamond"!Besides... the hearts of the two brothers are almost completely cold.Fortunately, Mr. Li made a big turn: Our brothers are naturally trying to be someone who can wash clothes and cook, who is not picky about food or drink, who does not pull the tongue and dustpan, who does not steal or touch, and who does not ask us to wear a cuckold. A big girl with high aspirations from a poor family.

How much does such a big girl cost? It also costs three or four hundred, and the father-in-law has to be a rickshaw puller. It doesn't matter if the old man pulls a rickshaw or drives a donkey; the "three or four hundred" are a little choked.The two brothers all felt choked and panicked, and they all recalled the "marriage in partnership". Mr. Lee—in his gown and satin shoes—maybe it's a good idea after all, if he doesn't laugh at it.Not only did Mr. Li not shake his head, but he also presented some evidence that this was not their new invention.Even wealthy people do this, but the procedures are slightly different.For example, Ding Duan's wife often lives in General Fang's house, although General Fang's house is not her natal family. Besides, Mr. Li has an even more touching reasoning: Brothers, we have to think far away, but we can't think too far away either.You have to do what you have to do, who knows if you take off your shoes today, you will still wear them tomorrow!Having sons and raising daughters, who doesn't want to have sons and raising daughters?But that's something for later, it's true to be happy now. Both of them recalled the scene of bullets flying all over the sky.If he didn't die before, he deserved it; who would dare not die in the future?Doesn't he deserve to die?Doesn't partner marriage deserve it?Naturally, there are many difficulties, such as who is responsible for giving birth to a son?But you can't "think too far away", Mr. Li is a saint, and he deserves to be the chief of staff of a division! Are there any girls willing to do that? Is this better than being a kiln sister?Mr. Li asked them again.As far as the two of them agreed—their consultation was originally an individual act—they handed over the full power to Mr. Li.Forget about his brother-in-law, let's talk about it after doing this first.They don't need to discuss face-to-face, and Mr. Li can mediate and convey their opinions. The facts are becoming more and more plausible. The two brothers can no longer exchange views with each other. To marry a wife, even if you use the method of a limited company, you have to make some preparations.It took the two of you a lot of sweat to get rid of this embarrassment, but after breaking it, it turned out not to be too embarrassing, but I felt that the friendship between the brothers became stronger—an unexpected thing!The two decided to only spend a bride price of 120 yuan, and no more than one.Secondly, don't dismiss the room in the temple, and rent a room outside, so that when people come to the bridal chamber in turn, they will have a place to stay when they come off duty.As for who will go to the front line first, Brother Sun will unconditionally give it to Brother Ma.Brother Ma strongly advocated the decision by drawing lots, but Brother Sun would not obey the order anyway. The auspicious date is the second day of October.The brothers all made a large sky blue cotton gown and a blue satin mandarin jacket. In addition to the ten yuan remuneration, Mr. Li left another seventy yuan from the one hundred and twenty yuan bride price. Lao Lin Si is not the one who sells his daughter.But the two sons are not filial, one lives in a small shop, the other doesn't know whereabouts, the old man still can say whether to pull the cart by himself?My daughter is also twenty.It's not that Lao Linsi doesn't want to mention her, but if he wants to let go of his daughter again, what else can he do?Isn't this purely selfish, because a coachman's daughter can marry a rich man?Follow yourself, whatever, follow your father after all; marrying a young man who pulls a cart may not be as good as staying at home.Naturally, this idea is not very clever after all, but if things are not done, time will pass quickly, and the girl is already twenty in a short while. He hated Mr. Li the most. Whenever he was sick and couldn't go to pull the cart, Mr. Li would come to give him peace.He knew that Mr. Li's eyes were on the girl.The value of Lao Lin Si, in the eyes of Mr. Li: he has a daughter.Old Lin Si once knocked Mr. Li out of the door.Mr. Li was neither anxious nor angry, on the contrary he became more amiable, and seemed to have made up his mind that Miss Lin's marriage must be arranged by him. Old man Lin is ill.Mr. Li has visited him several times.Mr. Li automatically lent Lao Lin Si money, asked Lao Lin Si to throw it in the local area. Being sick for seven days, Miss Lin hasn't eaten anything for two days.Pawn what you don’t have, sell what you don’t sell, and borrow what you don’t have.Lao Linsi only wanted to die, but he knew that even if he died, he would not feel at ease—and left behind a daughter who hadn't eaten for two days.If you don't die, you can't pull the cart right away when you recover from illness. What should you eat? Mr. Li came again, and placed fifty yuan in front of Old Lin Si's head: "You have the coffin book, and the girl has a place to eat—the Ming matchmaker is getting married. I want you to say something straightforward. All right, the money is yours." He pushed the foreign money forward. "No, blow!" Old Lin Si was speechless, he looked at his daughter, his mouth moved—why were you born in my family?He seems to be saying. "Die, father, we will die together!" She looked at the foreign money and said, wishing she could tear the silver pieces to pieces to see who had more power—people or money. Old Lin Si closed his eyes. Mr. Li smiled, and slowly picked up the foreign money one by one, making a slight clanking sound. When he got the ten yuan, Lao Linsi suddenly opened his eyes, and with power from nowhere, "Bring it!" He put both hands on the money. "Bring it!" He asked for the ten yuan in Mr. Li's hand. Old Lin Si just lay on his stomach like that, as if he had died.After waiting for a long time, he raised his head and said, "Girl, you can find a way to survive, just pretend that you never had this father." "You sold your daughter?" she asked.Not even half a tear. Lao Linsi remained silent. "Okay, I will listen to my father." "I'm not your father." Old Lin Si still held the money. Mr. Li was very happy and wanted to praise their father and daughter, but he only said one sentence: "Marry on the second day of October." Miss Lin doesn't think there is anything to be ashamed of, she will have to be like this sooner or later, it is a good thing not to sell to traffickers.She couldn't see any light in front of her, she just felt that her life seemed to be more crucified; at any rate, her life was nailed to an unknown place.It must be dark there, just like home, but it has been nailed there by the fifty foreign money, so there is nothing to do.Those foreign money are my father's coffin and my future black hole. Brother Ma rented a small north room in the courtyard near the Guandi Temple, with the Chinese character "Happy" posted on the door.A red sedan chair was sent to bring Miss Lin here.Miss Lin had nothing to cry about, nor anything to be excited about.Sitting on the kang, she saw a man with a papaya head.She knew that she had become Mrs. Papaya, and her life was nailed to Papaya.She didn't like this papaya, nor could it be said that she hated him. Her life was not her own, and her and her father's coffins were only worth fifty yuan. Papaya has a strong alcohol taste in its mouth.She endured it; men drank, she knew.She remembered that her father beat her mother when he was drunk.Papaya's eyebrows stood up, but she was not afraid; papaya was not very powerful, and she didn't like it either.She only knew that the papaya that fell from the sky had something to do with her, maybe it was good, maybe it was bad.She admitted this relationship, and was reluctant to think about the good or bad of the relationship.She feels the emptiness of life in a fixed relationship. Brother Ma felt very strong.I have carried a gun barrel for more than ten years, and now I have caught something softer and more lovely than a gun barrel.The sight of bullets flying all over the sky is absolutely different from the heating in this hut.Next to the papaya is a living thing that breathes and obeys him.He no longer wants to share this blessing with his brother-in-law, it must be personal, otherwise everything will be lost.He can't just put his life in the fertile soil and then pull it out; neither can he grow beans! The next morning, he didn't want to get up, and he didn't want to see Brother Sun again.He was thinking about things he would never have thought of before.He wants to draw a line in his life, and this line runs parallel to hers.Because of the parallelism, there are many complicated intersections and changes in the progress of these two lines, just like the formations in autumn exercises.He is the first line of defense, she is the second line, and there will be a third line in the future. The camp must become stronger day by day.I can't see my brother again. But he had to go to Guandi Temple, although it was extremely embarrassing.Going from the north hut to the temple, it was changed from playing autumn exercises to games, from singing military songs to playing haha ​​for fun. The lines that had been drawn were painted off as soon as they arrived at Guandi Temple.However, I had to go, and the words of my friends couldn’t be ignored.Such words should not have been said at all, and it seemed too late to regret.Or it's not too late, what if the brother-in-law lets go? The brother-in-law did not show any concessions!Brother Sun's attitude is still to take this matter as a joke.Since it was agreed as a joke, how could you turn your back on it and refuse to admit it?Who mattered more, the friend or the bitch?Can't decide.There was nothing in sight.The only thing left is to sleep in Guandi Temple at night, and ask my brother to live in the small north room.This is not a defense change, it is a retreat, and it is to give up the camp to the enemy!Brother Ma slept in the temple for a long time. In the evening, Sun Zhanyuan headed towards the hut with the character Xi. As the door approached, the lightness in him somehow died out by itself.He stopped, feeling uncomfortable.This is not the same as visiting a kiln.There is no such thing in the world.He thought of Brother Ma, who got married last night.She should be Mrs. Ma.He can't go in! He has to go in, how does he know that things are bound to be embarrassing?He went in. Miss Lin—or Mrs. Ma to be more appropriate—was staring at the small kerosene lamp on the edge of the Kang in a daze. What did he say? Can he rape her?cannot.It wasn't on the front lines; now he was sober.He's not there. Tell her the truth?His head was sweating. But he still couldn't remember Mo turned around and left. After all, she "also" belonged to him, and the one hundred and twenty yuan was half of his. He sat down. She thought he was Papaya's friend, and said, "He hasn't come back yet." As soon as she made a sound, he immediately felt that she should be his.She's not very pretty, but she's a girl after all.He kind of hates Brother Ma.There are many friends like Brother Ma in the military camp; women, wives, this is the first time.He cannot back down.He knew that he was more beautiful than Brother Ma and could speak better than Brother Ma.It should be his business to start a family, not Brother Ma's.He wanted to ask who she really loved, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he just sat there, having nothing to say. Sitting too long, she became suspicious. The more he looked at her, the more reluctant to leave.Sometimes I even want to go over and give her a firm hug; it's probably easier to do after breaking the shame.But he sat still.No, don't want her, she is already a piece of shit.Still have to go.No, you can't go; you can't give up all the advantages to Ma Desheng; Ma Desheng has already taken a lot of advantage! Seeing him sitting still and looking at her all the time, she couldn't help but blushed.He is indeed better-looking than that papaya, decent, and quite well-behaved.At the same time, she is also a little afraid of him, or because he is good-looking. She blushed.He leaned over.He can no longer think, can no longer control himself.There was fire in his eyes.She's a girl, a girl, a girl, and there's no time to think about anything else.He puts everything aside, only men and women; men and women, whatever husband and wife, whatever friend and friend.There is no future, only now, and now he wants to display the majesty of a man.Her face is so cute! She retreated into the kang, her face turned pale.For papaya, she completely let it be, because the marriage was to solve her own three meals and a coffin for her father; whether it was papaya or Tie Li, she had no freedom.But she wasn't prepared to go any further.This man is indeed more pleasing to the eye than papaya, but she has become Mrs. papaya! Seeing her hide, he was very happy.If she sat still, he seemed incapable of attacking.She moved, he seemed to be holding onto something, as if there was something wrong with her that deserved to be pursued.When the army was chasing after the victory, no one regarded the defeated soldiers in front as human beings. Sun Zhanyuan had this feeling again.She is no one and has nothing to do with anyone.She is something that makes people itch, chase after!He also opened his mouth. This is a habit. When running, he has to shout one-two-three-four, chasing the enemy in a dirty roll.As soon as he attacked, his mouth opened naturally: "Don't hide, I too—" Speaking of this, he suddenly stood still, as if he had some sudden illness, and looked at the shed. He regrets it.Why not discuss it beforehand! ?For example, it was planned in advance: Brother Ma pestered her all day, turned on the lights at nine o'clock in the evening, pretended to go out to pee, and took the opportunity to bring me in. Why bother with all these troubles?Brother Ma probably didn’t think of this layer, hmph, he thought of it, but someone told me that he deliberately came to make me run into trouble.Now that she has become Mrs. Ma, can she still admit that she is Mrs. Ma's grandson and grandson? While he was in such a daze, she leaned over to the edge of the kang again, trying to escape the cold.But she couldn't get away without touching him.She neither dared to touch him, nor dared to stay so still.She was thinking about it when he suddenly woke up again, as if. "Don't be afraid, I'll go." He smiled. "You were married by the two of us. I was fooled. I'll go." She never thought of this.He really is gone.What should she do?He wouldn't just let it go, and Papaya certainly didn't want to let go.What if they both came?Go ask your father for an idea, can he still have an idea when he is sick?Go to Mr. Li, what proof do you have?She froze for a while, then turned a few small circles around the room.Where do you go when you leave this hut?Here, the two of them want to come back together?After turning around a few times, he froze on the edge of the Kang again. It was about ten o'clock, and the persimmon seller who lived in the courtyard had already returned. She became even more afraid, it's fine if they don't come, if they come, they must be a couple! She figured it out: none of them can give in, and none of them can work hard because of it.They will surely agree.Affectionately, they came together to break their shameful faces, and then... She thought of this, and without caring about getting anything, she stood up and went out to find her father.As soon as she opened the door, there was a pair standing at the door, one with a head like a papaya and the other with a fat head and big ears.They all bared their white teeth and smiled at her, reeking of alcohol.
